UNION GRADED SCHOOL.
Dec 4th, 1909.
We hail a special <lay at school
last Monday. Abont 20 of our
patrons were present, among them
our neighbor, Rev. Jackson. We
have a larger school now than at
this period lust year. Rev. Ar
nold, of McDonough, fa- ored us
with an address on “Obligation of
parents to educate their children”
Ho said in part:
“Making a n .isc with the mouth
is thinking shallow, with the mind
deep thinking is done. It, it a du
ty of parents to educate their chil
dren parents and child express a
relation and their duty grows out
of this relation. There are three
relations existing between parents
and their children. The natural
relation between a parent and
child is in the divine order of
things and this relation suggests a
child. There is the providential
relation which is not under our
control. Then there is a funda
mental relation which is at the
bottom and makes manhood.
Out of these existing relations is
its service that you must pet from
your boy ! If so then we have not
departed very fur from the slavery
condition over 200 years ago. Sla
very was abolished with the over
throw of feudalism. Yon have a
natural right for the service cf
your chile hut not a property light
You can’t buy and sell your chil
dren. Our children are ,he foun
dation of our hemes, and wo par
ents are the tirst teachers they
have, you have laid a foundation
iu their education that Johnson
canned change. I tell yon that you
parents lay the foundation of your
child’s life, let it Ire worthy or un
worthy.
“Bishop Wright bought his son
a toy airship and now from the he
liocopter Wilbnr Wright is riding
daily in the air—one ot the mar
vels of our time. You are the tirst
educator of your child. America
has the glory of this invention and
President Taft has given Bishop)
Wright’s son a gold medal for his
triumph. Linnaeus, the great
botanist, was taught the elements
of botany in the garden by his fa
ther and the world will never get
over that man’s work.
“I attended a convention recent
ly and one good old brother, Wil
lis, had to leave the convention,
he expressed his grief on having
to leave to me. Said he, I am so
densely ignorant that lam asham
ed to stay in this great body cf
highly learned men any longer;
my father denied me the benefit of
an education
“A young man brings me a let
ter from his sick father in a far
country to read for him. I asked
him who read his letters for him.
He suid I take them over thero in
the field to a negro boy and he
reads them to mo. Well why cant
yon read your letters? My father
said he, made me work ; you have
your pointer dog trained, and
make your hoy work in the held
till Christinas and then give him a
few months in school and that cut
into pieces by work at home in the
fields. Oh, what a sad neglect on
the part of most people in this
country!
“Mt n with an education are ma
king dead things speak. Give your
hoy a chance in the schools and
then he can do things.
“You wonder why my boy is so
restless ; your boy by nature seeks
to know things. He runs here and
there with his limited opportuni
ties and naturally st eks to find the
secret things. Why do you want
those teachers? Can you calculate
their value? Go buy iron in the
rough and it will cost you $28.00
per ton ; send it to the high school
of the blacksmith and have if
worked into horse shoes and it will
be worth SIOO per ton ; send it to
the high school of the knife facto
ry and it will he worth $2,000 per
I ton : send it to the high school of
i needle factory and it will be worth
se,ooo per ton ; send it to the high
, school of the watch spring factory
and it will be worth $250,000a ton.
j “So yen see crude iron under the
i horse becomes something valua
! ble in the watch springs. Tlio
common idea of children is that
, they are incidents in life. The
common aim of men is to succeed
! for his child. Which is best to
succeed for the child or to succeed
in the child? 1 would rather suc
ceed m my child.
i “In :ny school days we read at
jLb now they read at 6. What edu
| cation may do for us is wonderful.
| W. G. Barrett was a common ig
: norant man. He married an edci
j cated woman. She raised his am
bition and he through her made a
success. Andrew Johnson, but
for an educated wife would never
have been president of the United
States.
“It is a reflection on any state to
have to compel its people to edu
cate their children. Mrs. Wesley
told her boy the some lesson 19
j times. This boy was John Wes
j ley. She succeeded in her boy. I
1 believe it is in mothers at least
, Mother has the power above all.
I Women should he wise in the keep
i ing of the character of their cliil
| dren. Yon are not first of all a
housekeeper ; you are a character
builder.; no despotism can rob your
| child of its education. It should
be your holiest aim to give it an
education. They will advertise
vour life and your fldelidyas noth
-1 ing else can.”

Mr. Duffey made us a visit last
week ; lie made a good talk for us
which was every word a gem. We
are always glad to see Mr. Duffey.
| lie is a very useful factor in my
! personal work at school; has given
, me much encouragement in many
phases of the work. There is no
doubt hut that he is much inter
ested in the schools and children
of Henry county, I heard a re
sponsible man, a lawyer in McDon
ongh, shv he is one of the best
commissioners in the state.
